Hello Group,

I just joined the group after reading several of the messages here. I
had headaches for 2 months that the doctor thought was sinus related
even though I told him I had two headaches, one in my sinuses and the
other in the back of my head and when I bent over it throbbed really
bad for a few minutes. I thought maybe I pinched a nerve but when my
chiropracter saw I was not getting better he told me he thought I had
brain stem swelling. For the next 3 days I had a hard time keeping my
eyes open, not that I couldn't stay awake but I just needed to close
my eyes from the pain. When I felt like I could keep my eyes open for
2 hours I went to the ER. The doctor there thought it was sinuses too
and ordered a CAT scan because the pain was making me stagger a
little. That was on 11/1 when they found a brain tumor blocking the
left ventrical causing swelling in the brain, hense the pain. I had
the tumor removed on 11/6 and the primary is in my lung.

They want to put me on the chopping block once again and take out
part of my lung but I told them no, that with the help of God and
repairing my immune system is how I want to go. I have been taking
the flax seed oil w/ yogurt since I gag on cottage cheese, apricot
kernals, cat's claw, pau d arco, beta glucan, msm with glucosamine,
shark liver oil, barley grass greens, micro minerals, pancreatic
enzymes, nuzymes, cranberry, echinatia and a few other things I can't
think of off the top of my head.

I also ordered Dr Schulte's Uncurable's program to detoxify and I
noticed it also contains some of the herb in the essiac formulas. The
doctors want to see how I am doing in 3 weeks so we are doing another
chest xray to see if the tumor is still there at that time. As many
of you know Cancer is a result not the cause of the problem. I am
posting mainly for the benefit of others with newly diagnosed cancer
so that they know, the body can cure itself if you take the time to
help it repair itself. If this were not true than anyone who has ever
skinned their knee would still be bleeding or die of an infection
from it. ALL PEOPLE have cancer cells that their immune system keeps
in check. Those who develope visible cancer tumors can heal themself
by getting the immune system to do it's job like it is supposed to.

That is not to say that the fear monster does not come out and bite
you in the butt once in awhile. It does but it is totally illogical
and needs to be put back in it's place asap. I am the third sister to
develope lung cancer, one died and the other has been surviving since
1990. She went the chemo route as we did not know about anything else
at the time plus my other sister died in 1988. My mother also died of
lung cancer in 1986 and my grandfather in 1970. What I do know is the
three that died had their cancer grow out of control after having
radiation treatments. Radiation causes cancer and some people who
initially respond to radiation later develope leukemia. No thank you!

The other thing I learned is you have to heal your soul and forgive
everyone. What happens to us yesterday or even years ago does not
matter for the simple reason that you cannot change history. You
cannot change what happened 1 minute ago so it makes no sense to hang
on to old hurts, they only hurt you by hanging onto them. The same
holds true for worry, if you can't change something then worry won't
make any difference so let it go.

Anyway, this is what I have learned about healing myself from the dis-
ease in my own system and I hope you can heal your own dis ease as
well.

I pray for everyone to thank god for providing us with everything we
have to heal ourselves and for our voices to be a light for others.

Be good to yourselves :-)
Eileen
